”Excellent,” Oberon nodded in agreement to the others when Oort and Ambrosia decided to stay with the group. He also did what Perdita suggested and tried putting as many starseeds into his subspace pocket as possible. The rest were shoved into his own pockets. Thankfully, he was able to get enough into his pockets and subspace so that he could pull his shirt back on. It wasn’t much, but it was at least one layer of protection against whatever weapons the Negaverse might have.
“We’ll worry about magic when it gets to that point,” he said with a nod to Oort. “Try not to use your energy until then.” Oberon glanced in Tomlin’s direction at the mention of the laser, remembering what happened the times he’d seen a cat use it. “Don’t give up on us just yet,” he said softly, with a small frown.
Oberon nodded to Perdita when she said they didn’t have much time. It was a little strange, being… not a chibi, but remembering exactly how it was like to not have all that much power. He still wasn’t as strong as someone like Ganymede or Sessrumnir, but he felt as though he was stronger than he had been.
“I think you’re right,” he said with a nod to Ambrosia. “Let’s go. I’ll take out the youma I can, but get ready to back me up, okay?” he said with a thumbs up, and then headed towards the left to try and get around the youma and officers. With a jump and a kick, Oberon squashed a youma that tried lunging towards the group.

Lieutenant Tourmaline was damn irritated that Feathers and Pixie had taken off before she had gotten a chance to finish playing with either of them. It was incredibly rude, even more so since they hadn't even bothered saying goodbye.
The irritation had been soothed by the words of reassurance from General Labyrinthite that she had done well and she found herself grinning when they had found Sailor Dia while heading back up to the main hall.
The teleportation she could have done without, however, still not used to the wobbly feeling it left her with once she was back on her feet again. Tourmaline waited patiently as the general summoned the members of their pack that she would have been introduced to properly had Order not invaded. She listened intently to his instructions, giving a curt nod before snagging Dia by the wrist and dragging her into the fray.
"Let's find someone for you to use your magic on so I can punch them."
For a few moments, Varuna felt relief once they were able to get out of the crumbling building, but it all faded when she saw what awaited them. There were youma pouring from every corner, and a General Queen standing in their way, her weapon looking extremely deadly.
Varuna stayed as close to Palatine and the knight Kairatos as she could. He seemed to know what he was doing, which was a lot better than herself. She felt woefully unprepared for any of this. Her magic was already half used… there would only be so much she could do.
She frowned sadly when the Earth knight (Falias) admitted to not being up for magic. He’d probably used up a lot of energy in the Academy, and thanks to him and some of the others, they made it out safely. Varuna cautiously reached out to place what she hoped was a comforting hand on the knight’s arm, giving him a small nod to show her support.
And then she let out a shriek of surprise when Kairatos used his magical summon, a fiery bull appearing out of nowhere, and she grabbed onto the Earth knight’s arm a little harsher than intended.

Venice, page of Ganymede. With Phact's group.
"Yes, time to go." Venice said echoing Erebus as he nodded his head and stood at the others side. At the starseeds, he knew very well what those were, got placed into the coat by those who had found and saved them. Once they got free then what? Once they stepped outside of here what would happen to them? Shaking his head, to rid it of such thoughts, he focused on what they'd have to do soon. He was, thankfully, mostly in good health.
"Food when out of here...and health." He said to the other, reaching out for the others hand to give it a squeeze. Dark eyes seeking out the others, seeking comfort while looking to give it also. They would make it out of this, they had to, together. Ready and in position he was waiting for the group to pull together and start moving. It seemed two had gotten a much needed heal and Sabine was ready to get moving also, as she pointed to a bull they should follow and he could see why. "Yes, we should follow it." He said nodding his head.

Gorner, page of Castor, with Phact's group.
Once her starseeds were deposited in the coat, all out of her coat thankfully, she stood and dusting herself off glanced about before deciding to take up a position that would be surrounding those carrying the starseeds to safety., "I'm ready to move out whenever everyone else is." She announced, so Phact would know that someone else was ready to go. best to know who was ready, and whenever everyone was ready to go - right?
A glance about showed her how many were in the group and it did seem impressive, they should be able to get out of here. As Sabine mentioned a bull her own pale eyes looked toward it and she nodded. "That'll be easy to spot and follow." The page observed aloud for the group to hear. Following a bull would be a very easy thing to do...now if only her cousins were around she'd be happy. Maybe they were both safe at home though? She could hope, right? Though having told them about this they could have arrived late and gone elsewhere from her as well. She'd have to talk to them later, once home, since she couldn't find them if they were in fact here.

Valhalla of Jupiter
Valhalla gave Ganymede a concerned look, but didn’t say anything against her plan just yet. He doubted Gevaudan would want to leave. He knew he didn’t want to leave, so he doubted Gev would, either. But he could understand Ganymede’s concern for them.
“I’ll help get as many out as possible, but you’re not going to fight alone,” Valhalla insisted, nodding to Babylon in agreement, grateful that he was there to help with re-energizing as many as he could.
“Don’t use up too much of your own energy. We’re going to need you,” he said to Babylon, trying not to look too concerned when the youma and Negaverse officers continued to appear. He took a hand and placed it on Alexandria’s shoulder to make sure he held still to retrieve the energy he needed. Valhalla knew what it was like to have the starseed taken from his chest, and it wasn’t a very good feeling. He took the vial when it was passed to him, using it as directed.
“I’m sorry… I wish I could do more,” he admitted, feeling a little helpless when everyone was passing around their magic and supplies, and he was just standing there. He wouldn’t leave, but he was definitely more defenseless than others.
When the other Mercury knight (Cordoba) asked Babylon if she could help, Valhalla smiled softly. She seemed a little shy, but that was okay. “Would you like to help me get as many out as we can?” he asked her, knowing Babylon was distracted with passing his energy to those who needed it. He smiled and nodded to the senshi in blue and yellow (Harmonia) as well.
Another squire joined, one of Uranus (Andronicus), and while he knew it was probably false, he felt a bit of hope that they might be able to come out of this on top. “I’m good with distractions as well. We’ll be better in larger numbers. We should probably make sure no one is stuck on their own anywhere.”
He looked back to Ganymede with another frown. “You know we’re not going to win this… we should work on saving as many people as we can. If you can stall Laurelite, it’ll be better than trying to deal a lot of damage.”

Sailor Dia, Corrupt Senshi of Candy
Like Tourmaline, Dia was not prepared for the sudden transportation method. General Labyrinthite had snatched her quicker than she had time to process and suddenly she was IN the fray, senshi and Negaverse fighting one another as if everyone's lives depended on it. Which, honestly, was probably what was at stake.
Eyes glanced to the side, both Wolfeite and Aluminite suddenly appearing. While they were unknown faces, it was still a relief to be a part of a crowd, as opposed to flying solo.
Well, it was nice, until Tourmaline yanked her roughly by the wrist, jolting her forward as heels clacked loudly against the stone ground. "H-Hey, you don't have to break my wrist in the process!"
Sure, she was furious. The White Moon had invaded her new home, killed one of her leaders and essentially ransacked the place. But when push came to shove, candy balls of goo could only go so far. Maybe Tourmaline's uncouth roughness would finally come in handy!

Alexandria huffed at Ganymede's words. "I do not. Give me a boost of anything and I can not promise you I will not do something stupid. I'm not going to waste someone else's energy on that." That's what his Personal Item was for wasn't it? Alex crossed his arms and grumbled something about it not being the first time he'd had his seed grabbed.
However his inheritance towards his 'sister' was quickly doused as he watched Gevaudan down the salve. "No- It's. Aaaah.. Never mind. I should have explained things a little bit clearer.." Oh well. Alex rubbed at the back of his neck awkwardly. "Let me... know if that does anything. Typically you just apply it to the wound. Like a balm or a lotion. I don't know if any of these work like tonics... I'll have to take a closer look at these when I get the chance." Probably something he should have done before passing things out... Oh well.
Alexandria turned then to scowl at Babylon. "Oh ******** off." He snapped. "I wasn't going to say s**t. You're making it weird by even saying that. I'll be fine. I don't ne-" At the touch of Val's hand on his shoulder, Alex shut his mouth instantly. Alex huffed, as he resorted to using one of his vials on himself and remaining quiet for a few minutes to blow of some steam.
"I have more if you think you need it Valhalla." He should probably be saving some for afterwards, but if they were needed now, then Alex wouldn't be the one to stop that.

Encke dashed away from the castle with the speed that being a regular runner granted him--but unfortunately he couldn't really get very far.
The senshi came to a skidding stop when he found that the entire path in front of him was full of throngs of youma, varying other senshi and other people on their side, and a whole lot more enemies. Including another one of those super powerful people. Hopefully this one wouldn't turn into a scale bomb.
Where had all these enemies come from? It was like they appeared from the nether, or something. Well, he guessed they were in their base. That's what this portal was leading to, right? Their base?
Did they all stay here on a regular basis?
He shook his head, attempting to focus. He needed to get out of here. He was fairly sure his attack could probably clear some people out of the way, or at least make them feel rather uncomfortable. That might be enough to get him through there -- oh, who was he kidding, there were so many...

Lieutenant Aluminite - Getting run over by....a magical bull??
This was not how he planned to spend his evening. It'd been easy to ignore the first distress call because -- well, he was a meager lieutenant who couldn't get to subspace on his own. He hadn't been summoned - yet - so he'd spent the day digging through his things, writing his dissertation for grad school and then --
He'd been summoned because everything had gone and went to s**t.
Of course, Labyrinthite had called him, and some others he didn't know. He didn't have a choice now, he was in subspace surrounded by fellow agents being ordered to fight so he complied because - what else was he supposed to do?
He slid past Wolfeite, Tourmaline, and Dia, his height eclipsing them all as he slid through the throngs of people. He got halfway through the crowd when --
Was that a ******** bull?
He didn't even have time to think about what he could do to get out of the summon's way. It hit him head on and hard and all six feet four inches of the lanky man went flying into the air with a shriek. "What the hellllllll?" He managed as he flew threw the air and back towards which he came.
Well, wasn't that just the man's luck?

He held on, trying to keep his balance as she turned and twisted underneath him, and he bite down as hard as he could before he felt all of her paws kicking out under him.
Releasing, he jumped back and splayed out his claws, swiping at her as he went on his back legs a moment before falling back down on all fours, circling her.
"Not very smart jumping in like that. How about you run back, Miss....?"
He watched her, reading to jump on her should she try attacking anyone else again.

Lieutenant Tourmaline - Shoving Sailor Dia / Acting as a Landing Pad for Lieutenant Aluminite
When Lieutenant Tourmaline turned to make some sort of wonderfully witty comment in response to Sailor Dia's fussing she noticed something. That something happened to be one of the other Lieutenants (Aluminite) that General Laybryinthite had summoned flying in their direction. Literally flying.
This could end one of two ways: the lieutenant soaring though the air with the greatest of ease could land on both of them and she'd have to listen to Dia fuss even more for the rest of the fight OR she could take one for the team.
"Son of a b***h." Thinking fast, Lieutenant Tourmaline gave Sailor Dia a rough shove out of the way just in time for Aluminite to come crashing down on top of her for a landing that was anything but graceful, sending them both into a heap of black, bright pink and green on the ground.
This was why she never bothered trying to put herself in the position of a leader. She wasn't any good at it, and no one listened to her anyway.
She frowned at Valhalla, Gevaudan, andBabylon. Even if they made good points, it didn't help her self-esteem at all. She deflated somewhat and felt a little lost. She didn't want to try fighting Laurelite on her own. Really, she didn't want to do any of this anymore. She was scared and exhausted and despite how she acted, she wasn't ready to die.
But wanting or not wanting something didn't change the fact that she had to do this.
When Harmonia spoke, Ganymede realized that most of the group was likely in agreement with Babylon's plan.
“We didn't have any sort of conduit on Maia,” she tried to argue. “We just... we all touched the tree and overpowered it.”
The Surrounding was a different story, and her mouth opened and closed a few times as she tried to come up with another argument, but the memories of that battle made it impossible for her to do so. She remembered pleading with... something. Praying, one might say. She'd held Valhalla's hand and offered up what power she had left.
She remembered Chronos's crystal.
More than that, she remembered the combined attack they'd used to force the Negaverse and the Dark Mirror Senshi out of the Surrounding.
“I don't know if I can do that,” Ganymede said, talking rapidly. “I've never tried it before. I always thought the Surrounding was a fluke. It never happened again. We can't rely on something if we don't even know if it'll even work.”
She looked around at their group, from Valhalla and Gevaudan, to Babylon, Alexandria, Cordoba, and Harmonia. She glanced at the newly arrived Andronicus, then swept her gaze beyond her to look over all the Senshi and Knights who had gathered, some of them already fighting.
“What if I can't do it?” she said. “I'm not Chronos. What if it's not enough? If it's just us... it was everyone on the Surrounding. If it's just us who try, it won't be nearly as strong as it was then. It would be better if I took on Laurelite on my own. I can do it. I might not have much magic left, but I can last long enough to get you all back through the portal. I have to.”

Palatine, Squire of Venus - with Kairatos, Varuna, and Falias
Kairatos's bull charged forward and it suddenly seemed as if they might actually stand a chance of breaking through.
Palatine wasn't about to get her hopes up, but she was feeling a little more confident.
Unfortunately, she had a very big choice to make.
Someone had to stay with Kairatos and protect the piece of the Code they'd gone through so much trouble to get. The Earth Squire from before (Falias) was there, as was Varuna. That left them with a Knight, two Squires, and a Super Senshi. Not bad for such a small group, but potentially useless if the General Queen happened to cut them off in the midst of their escape.
Not to mention the horde of lesser agents and youma.
On the other hand, there was her kid. Her reason for being there. She'd meant to go to the Academy, then head to the castle to find her kid. Now she had found her kid, but they were separated by a large crowd of people. Palatine couldn't leave until she knew her kid was okay. She couldn't step through the portal without watching her kid go through first.
And Varuna. She could get Varuna out now if they made a break for it, then come back for Ganymede.
It was just a question of if she could make it there and back in one piece.
“Tell me again who it was that thought coming down here to one up the Negaverse was a good idea,” she said.
She motioned for Varuna to follow her, beginning to head forward to trail after the bull.
“Kairatos,” she said, “You're the strongest one in our group. If you can fight, you should probably focus on that and pass the Code off to me or Earth Squire here so you're unencumbered. My magic's not good for anything but healing, and even if I can throw a decent punch, that's pretty much it as far as my combat skills. Varuna, you have some magic left, don't you?”

Cordoba
Cirdoba shivred, entirely unsure of how to help, or do anything similr to what Babylon was proposing, and the page swallowed, looking to the others with a wide eyed, anxious expresion.
"All I can do is throw a disc." The age said nervously. "I can't understand how I'd do much more. Uhmmmm..."
The page fidgeted, and eyed Laurelite warily, shaking again before frowning.
